passenger on the Celtic. He was standing
on the bridge OF the Celtic when the
Brittanir first came in sight through the
dense fog He said TO reporter.
The Brittanic was running ut full
speed and the Celtic very slow When
first seen the RrittaniC was holding to the
starb0ard of the Celtic. and without
changing her course would have scraped
the starbOard Srle. The Celtic signaled
and began TO hack water. The signal
understand To direct giving way to star
board. In doing this the BrittaniC turned
across the Celtics bow. At first
